Mama's First Day

Today was my first day alone with the two kiddos. It's funny, looking back at how nervous I was for this day. All things considered, it went very smoothly. I'd even say we enjoyed ourselves! And hardly any tears were shed--by anyone!

Isaac and I made sweet potato and zucchini muffins while Emma took her morning nap (and I got some laundry done). Excuse the pant-less toddler. He's not much for wearing them these days.

Snuggle time with my baby.

Look carefully. I'm nursing Emma and Isaac is doing laundry. Three-year-old's chores for the win!

And because Isaac has been refusing naps lately--a phase I truly hope is just a phase and not the end of napping for Isaac--after more than an hour of coaxing Isaac to take a rest, I gave up and instead bundled the kids to take a snowy walk to the park. It was much more pleasant.

All of the plants were covered in these amazing icy crystals. So beautiful.

Winter.

I call day one a success--even without a nap for Isaac (or Mama)!
